“A grief stricken Qui-Gon sits at the side of his beloved Tahl as she succumbs to her injuries and dies.” | Scene: Jedi Apprentice #15: The Death of Hope (2001) | Artist: Jeffery Carlisle | Book: Star Wars: The Essential Reader’s Companion (2012) | Author: Pablo Hidalgo
I kinda have this headcanon that padawan Qui-Gon was really an awkward, gangly type of kid when growing up. Nose slightly too big for his face, limbs everywhere, irritating teenagerhood acne, all that stuff
Tahl adores his awkwardness, of course, even though he can barely enter a room without forgetting how big he is and knocking everything over
Then one day lil’ teenage Qui-Gon heads off on a two-year-long mission with Dooku and when he gets back he looks, well, like Liam Neeson
and Tahl is like
oh shiiiiit


Childhood friends <3
Obi-Wan & Bant + Qui-Gon & Tahl
Bant was one of my fav charas in the Jedi Apprentice series but there’s so little art of her…understandable, drawing Mon Calamari is HARD. >.>;
I know Tahl looks quite different from her comic depiction, but this is kind of how I imagined her. I had a chat with @deadcatwithaflamethrower a while ago and we agreed that we both disliked her comic hair and outfit. I have no clue if this is how she imagines Tahl, but this is my take on (Padawan) Tahl ^ ^
(also Qui-Gon’s hair is long + in a hamster tail b/c I personally interpret the Padawan cut as encouraged but not mandatory. And well, if anyone were to ignore suggestions, it’d be Qui-Gon…)
Guys, shiny fan art!
